Which article are you evaluating?
Send My Love (To Your New Lover)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I'm a fan of Adele's music and thought it would be interesting to read about the making and the history behind one of her more popular songs (Send My Love). Iw as under the impression that the article would provide me with the lyrics of the song, the meaning of the song, the background information on the song, which album it is on, what were the reactions to the song, and where she performed this song.

Evaluate the article
Lead section: Defined the topic properly, it's a little overly detailed and can be overwhelming to readers but it provides all the necessary information.

Content: The content was relevant to the topic of the song (had many paragraphs full of all of the information that I wanted and was expecting), since it's a song from 2016, all of the information was up-to date. While the background information kind of seemed to be getting away from the topic and seemed like an overwhelming amount of information, it quickly got right back on the proper topic.

Tone and Balance: Since this article is about a song and not a controversial topic, there isn't really a way that this article could persuade you to be in favour of one position over the other (there aren't really any positions being taken). The article is neutral.

Source and Reference: All facts seem to be referenced properly. Since it's an older article about a song written in 2016, some of the articles are not current. However, most of the references are about people (ex: Adele and other writers) so they are, in fact, current. All the links to the sources work properly but I do see that some are not the most reliable types of sources. They could have used more peer-reviewed sources other than basic websites.

Organization and writing quality: There are definitely some parts in this article that just seem like a bunch of words mushed together but for the most part, it is written clearly and is easy to understand. There are a lot of parts that contain a lot of words in one sentence so it does get a little difficult to follow along but the information is there and is understandable. There are very few grammatical errors (mostly commas and semi-colons). The article is very organized and has many different sections containing its own set of information about the song (includes information about each milestone that comes with writing and performing a hit single).

Images and Media: There are very few images in this article. However, the images that are used do in fact help readers enhance their reading (shows who Adele is, the album cover, etc.). All images used do follow Wikipedia's copyright regulations and are well-captioned.

Talk Page: There are conversations about how to improve the article. Many people are helping the original author make the article even better. For the most part, all people are saying is that the article is very solid and needs no more information, and very little editing.

Overall Impressions: Much like the people on the Talk Page discussed, I thought this was a pretty solid article. The information was laid out in an organized way and it gave a lot of proper and relevant information on the topic. I do think that the author could improve on making some sentences shorter. Maybe making one long sentence into two shorter ones would be beneficial just so the readers don't get too bored and overwhelmed with the long sentences. In the end, I would say it is a well-developed article.
